Detection of Human Phospho-PGC1a (S571) antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human Phospho-PGC1 alpha (S571) by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line and Jurkat human acute T cell leukemia cell line untreated (-) or treated (+) with 10 nm Recombinant Human IGF-I (Catalog # 291-G1) for 1 hour. PVDF Membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Rabbit Anti-Human Phospho-PGC1a (S571) Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF6650) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF008). A specific band was detected for Phospho-PGC1a (S571) at approximately 120 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Expression levels of mitochondrial biogenesis proteins in control and mutant cells with and without treatment. Polydatin and nicotinamide at 10 µM were used for seven days. (A) Immunoblotting analysis of mitochondrial biogenesis proteins in control (C1, C2) and mutant (P1, P2) cells. Actin was used as the loading control. (B) Band densitometry of Western blot data referred to actin and normalized to the mean of controls. (C) Immunoblotting analysis of mitochondrial biogenesis proteins in control (C1, C3) and mutant (P3) fibroblasts. Actin was used as the loading control. Original images can be found in Supplementary Materials. (D) Band densitometry of Western blot data referred to actin and normalized to the mean of controls. Data represent the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. **** p < 0.0001 between control and GFM1 fibroblasts. ####p < 0.0001 between untreated and treated GFM1 cells. a.u.: arbitrary units.

Background: PGC1 alpha

PGC-1 alpha (PPAR-gamma coactivator 1; also LEM6) is a 97-120 kDa member of the PGC-1 family of proteins. It is expressed in select cell types, including brown adipocytes, skeletal muscle and hepatocytes. PGC-1 alpha participates in both RNA processing and transcriptional coactivation in conjunction with multiple nuclear hormone receptors such as PPAR gamma, RAR and TR. Human PCG-1 alpha is 798 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains an LxxLL nuclear receptor binding motif (aa 144-148), one PPAR-gamma interaction domain (aa 293-339), two NLSs and an RNA binding/processing region (aa 566-710). PGC-1 alpha activity is regulated by phosphorylation. AMPK is known to phosphorylate Thr178 and Ser539, promoting cotranscriptional activity. Conversely, Akt-mediated phosphorylation at Ser571 is reported to downregulate PGC-1 alpha activity. This latter effect is achieved by an initial Ser571 phosphorylation, followed by GCN5 binding and subsequent PCG-1 alpha acetylation that promotes PGC-1 alpha dissociation from target gene promoters.
